Geographies of Difference is also the theme of the Geography Awareness Week for 2012. I became aware of the theme earlier in the year, as I was asked to write a section of the teacher booklet.
This is now available to download from the GA website (link goes to a PDF download - 6.1 Mb)
I wrote a section on differences in access to technology, which starts as below....
This year's UK event runs from the 25th to the 29th of June.... what are you planning ?
It would be a good opportunity to involve Year 10s in looking back at the differences that geography has made to their understanding of the world so far on the GCSE course.
How has their understanding changed ? A good chance to reflect on the first year.
Also a chance for them to think about what they might do differently in the final year of their compulsory education. How are they going to ensure that the grade they gain at the end of the course is as high as it can possibly be ?
Think differently... More ideas for how to do that in the Badger book - out soon - the excitement is building....
